Peter Ricchiuti (Ri-Choo-ty) is the business professor you wish you had back in college.[according to whom?] His humor and insight have twice made him the school's top professor.[citation needed] Peter's teaching delivery was recognized as "best on the planet" by Reimagine Education, besting competition from nearly 500 universities representing 43 countries.[citation needed]
Peter is a graduate of Babson College, started his career at the investment firm of Kidder Peabody & Co. and later served as the chief investment officer for the State of Louisiana. There he successfully managed a $3 billion portfolio.

In 2014, The Financial Times published Peter's first book, "Stocks Under Rocks" and he currently hosts a popular weekly business program called "Out to Lunch" on National Public Radio in New Orleans.
